ASSEMBLY
Read and follow the assembly and adjustment
instructions for your snow thrower. All fasteners
are in the parts bag. Do not discard any parts or
material until the unit is assembled.
WARNING: Before doing any
assembly or maintenance to the
snow thrower, remove the wire
from the spark plug.
NOTE: In this instruction book, left and right
describe the location of a part from the
operator’s position behind the unit.
NOTE: Torque is measured in foot pounds
(metric N.m). This measurement describes
how tight a nut or bolt must be. The torque is
measured with a torque wrench.
NOTE: Fasteners and loose parts are shown
at full size in Figure 2 on page 153.
NOTE: Illustrations are located on page 2
and on pages 154 through 159.

How To Remove The Snow Thrower
From The Carton
1. (Figure 3) The snow thrower is shown in the
shipping position.
2. Cut down all four corners of the carton and
lay the side panels flat or use pull tab to
remove box from base.
3. Cut and discard the plastic ties that secure
the crank assembly and the speed control
rod assembly.
4. Locate all parts that are packed separately
and remove from the carton.
5. Remove and discard the packing material
from around the snow thrower.
6. (Figure 1) For shipping purposes, the height
adjust skids (7) are attached to the pallet.
Remove the screw (17) that secures each
height adjust skid (7) to the pallet.
7. Hold onto the lower handle and pull the snow
thrower off the pallet.
CAUTION: DO NOT back over cables.
8. Remove the packing material from the
handle assembly.
9. Cut the ties that secure the clutch control
cables (1) to the lower handle (2). Move the
cables away from the motor frame.
How To Assemble The Handle And
Crank Assembly
1. (Figure 4) Loosen, but do not remove, the
fasteners (1) in the upper holes of the lower
handle.
2. Remove the fasteners and the crank
assembly eyebolt (11) from the lower holes
of the lower handle.
3. (Figure 1) Put the shift lever (6) into first
forward position.
4. (Figure 4) Raise the upper handle (2) to the
operating position.
NOTE: Make sure the cables are not
caught between the upper and lower
handle.
5. Install the fasteners and the crank assembly
eyebolt (11) that were removed in step 2.
DO NOT tighten until all fasteners are in
place.
6. (Figure 5) Attach the crank rod (15) to the
universal joint assembly (16) with the hair
pin (12).
7. (Figure 4) Tighten nut on eye bolt (11).
Make sure eye bolt (11) is properly aligned
and the crank (18) can freely rotate.
8. Tighten all handle fasteners.
How To Install The Speed Control Rod
1. (Figure 9) Attach the ball joint (6), located
on the bottom end of the speed control rod
(2), to the shift yoke assembly (7). The
fasteners (8) are attached to the ball joint
(6) at the factory.
The length of the ball joint (6) and speed
control rod (2) have been pre−adjusted at
the factory. If an adjustment is required,
loosen the nut (9). Remove the fasteners
(8) to disconnect the ball joint (6) from the
shift yoke assembly (7). To lengthen or
shorten the speed control rod (2), turn the
adapter (10) to obtain the correct length.
2. (Figure 12) Attach the handle (11) onto the
speed select lever (5). On some models the
handle (11) is attached. To lock in position,
tighten the hex jam nut (10) against the
bottom of the handle (11).
3. Make sure the speed select lever (5)
functions correctly. Move the speed select
lever (5) through all speeds.
How To Install The Knobs
NOTE: If knobs are already installed, go to
the next selection.
Remote Chute Knob (Figure 12)
1. Assemble remote chute knob (1) onto lever
(3) until snug against nut (2). On some
models the remote chute knob (1) is
attached.
2. Make sure lip (4) on the remote chute knob
(1) is pointed toward the engine.
3. Tighten the nut (2) against the bottom of the
remote chute knob (1).
How To Assemble The Chute Deflector
1. (Figure 6) Remove carriage bolt (1).
2. Raise the chute deflector (2) into operating
position (3).
3. Fasten chute deflector (2) to flange (4) with
carriage bolts (1). Make sure to install with
head of the carriage bolts (1) on the inside
of the flange (2).
4. Fasten with washers (5) and locknuts (6).
5. Tighten locknuts (6) securely.
NOTE: Make sure all carriage bolts in flange
are tight. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Check The Cables
1. (Figure 8) Check the traction drive cable
(1) and the auger drive cable (2). If the
bottom of the cables have become
disconnected, reinstall the cables.
2. (Figure 10) If the top of the cables (5) have
become disconnected from the drive levers
(6), attach the cables (5) to the “Z” fitting
(7).
How To Set The Skid Height (Figure 1)
The snow thrower is equipped with height
adjustable skids (7) mounted on the outside of
the auger housing (4). To adjust the height of
the skids, see “How To Adjust The Height Of
The Skids” in the Maintenance section.
How To Set The Length Of The Cables
The cables were adjusted at the factory and no
adjustments should be necessary. However,
after the handles are put in the operating
position, the cables can be too tight or too loose.
If an adjustment is necessary, see “How To
Check And Adjust The Cables” in the Service
And Adjustment section.
How To Assemble The Drift Cutter
(if equipped)
Drift cutters are used to cut a path through snow
deeper than the auger housing.
1. (Figure 11) Loosen the wingnuts (2) that
secure the drift cutters (1) to the auger
housing.
2. Raise the drift cutters (1) to the desired
height.
3. Tighten the wingnuts (2).
How To Prepare The Engine
NOTE: The engine was shipped from the
factory filled with oil. Check the level of the
oil. Add oil as needed.
WARNING: Follow the engine
manufacturer’s instructions for the
type of fuel and oil to use. Always
use a safety fuel container. Do not smoke
when adding gasoline to the engine. When
inside an enclosure, do not fill with
gasoline. Before you add fuel, stop the
engine. Let the engine cool for several
minutes.
Check the oil. See the engine manufacturer’s
instructions for the type of fuel and oil to use.
Before you use the unit, read the information on
safety, operation, maintenance, and storage.
Important! Before You Start Operating
r
Check the fasteners. Make sure all
fasteners are tight.
r
On electric start models, the unit was
shipped with the starter cord plugged
into the engine. Before operating,
unplug the starter cord from the engine.
r
If a bar code label is attached to the
handle, remove before operating.
OPERATION
NOTE: Illustrations are located on page 2
and on pages 154 through 159.
CAUTION: Use only attachments and
accessories approved by the manufacturer
of the snow thrower (such as tire chains,
electric start kits, etc.).
